Behr

Bakery Box

BL-W09

Behr Bakery Box is a near-white with a subtle green-gray undertone that gives it a cool, slightly minted quality. With an LRV of 95.3, it is among the brightest paint colors available, reflecting nearly all incident light. The cool green-gray cast differentiates it from warm whites and prevents it from appearing yellowish, though it can read slightly icy in north-facing rooms.

This shade suits ceilings, trim, and full walls in compact or low-light spaces, and works within palettes that include Behr Silver Drop, Behr White Metal, Behr Cracked Pepper, and Behr Blue Metal.
